The push for Washington, D.C., to become its own state is gathering new momentum. It won overwhelming approval from district voters in a 2016 referendum. And last week, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 51, which would give the District of Columbia a representative with full voting rights and two senators.
The bill has little chance of becoming law unless the Senate gets rid of the filibuster. Still, Democrats are seizing on District of Columbia statehood as part of a broader push to adjust the balance of power in American government.
